Re: Palin-The Plumber in 2012! Maybe.
Ana,
In your below post you wrote:
Any VP candidate who isn't thinking about running for president one day is probably less trustworthy than one who is -- in part because they are probably thinking even darker thoughts. Two words, people: DICK CHENEY.
Am curious -- would you therefore call Joe Biden "less trustworthy"? Every indication from Obama camp when he was hired was that Biden (who is 65 and in eight-years time would be 73, even older than McCain is now) has no further presidential ambitions -- as David Wilhelm told me:
"For Joe, that was his last race, and if it worked out, great — if not, he still had this great future as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee," says David Wilhelm, a close adviser to Biden who ran the Delaware Senator's Iowa campaign in 1988 and who endorsed Obama early in the campaign. "He was really at peace throughout the whole process."

JNS,

You know you can't ask AMC questions anymore. She throws up a post here and then goes to other sites to blog. I don't think she has answered/recognized a commenter's question in over a week. Im not mad at her because she has to hustle now in light of Radar folding but it does kinda suk that there isnt any interaction anymore -

Excellent catch, JNS.
-

JNS -- Well that's one way (and a really polite way) to inform AMC that she has written drivel. Of course I tell her that constantly but clearly the direct approach hasn't done much good.

Ana can't come to the phone right now – she's conferring with Hitchens over the worsening situation in Glenfiddich.

Ana's out of order? She's out of order?? THIS WHOLE BLOG'S OUT OF ORDER!!!
Love that.

That was a test, and I wasn't sent to "Time out!" Woo-hoo!

Breaking.... John McCain can't get a break. He was stood up today in Defiance Ohio by Joe the Plumber. Called out for him and he did not show up on stage. The McCain campaign then said he would join them later in the day. According to Joe the Plumber he wasn't contacted about showing up in Defiance. He also said he could not attend any McCain rallies today because he is due in Philadelphia. Egg on the face of the whole McCain campaign. Suggests maybe Joe the Plumber is having second thoughts? Sweet!!!!!

Flo –
Not second thoughts – a better offer.

Hey guys lay off Ana, she's trying to land a columnist job somewhere. It's either that or the Bunny Ranch. Not a great job option.

I will provide exegesis.
.
What AMC meant by "trustworthy" is "subject to influence by voters." A check on a 2nd term lame-duck president going batsh!t crazy is a vice president who will see his electoral prospects diminished by such insaniry. We saw a version of that when Gore tried to distance himself from Clinton's personal behavior. It's quite possible that a VP Romney or Hagel would have created obstacles for some of Bush/Cheney's more destructive policy decisions. -

JNS - AMC didn't even feel the surgical scalpel make the incision.
.
Perhaps she's commiserating with Salter. I think she has checked out of Swampland and is, in the tradition of that great stateswoman from Alaska, focusing on bigger and better things for AMC.
.
Watch out everyone, the ladder is being pulled up behind her as she ascends. -

jayackroyd doing a great impression of AMC, JC and MS earlier in the campaign.

Palin musta got to Joe. Look out Todd!!

I'd suggest we start an email campaign to help get Ana a new gig, maybe replacing Joey the Scar on MSNBC – but I guess that particular position would involve working morning hours, so maybe not.
-
15
Now is when they need Joe. The campaign is circling the bowl.
-
16
jay,
.
Yesterday AMC had a post up about the "attraction of JTP". So it might be AMC running off with JTP not Sarah Palin. CAT FIGHT! rowr -

FO -- Under or Unemployment for Ms. Cox might be a humbling experience and a life experience lesson for her.

Do they have a bigger wine closets with no locks over there at MSNBC?
AMC wants to know .. -

I'm sort of amazed by her ability to raise cash for, um, whatever it is she does.
-

better check her twitter stream.

21
No nothing special.

JNS, please rephrase your question in the form of LOLcats.
-
23
So does Joe the Plumber actually have a job? Outside of campaigning for McCain/Palin that is. He should at least be tapped to be Postmaster General for all his hard work on the campaign.
-
24
That's ridiculous. The difference is that Biden DID run for president. Twice. He realizes he can't win, so he's not going to do it again. That hardly means he's thinking "darker thoughts."

Ha Ha Ha - somebodies out of a job. Stay classy Swampland.
